This swaps the host event argument for the Broker ID. The latter is more useful,
since the sending agent doesn't necessarily know its IP address as visible to
the controller, and the controller can pull up the full Broker context via the
ID.
It also adds an explicit argument to the event to indicate whether the agent
connected to the controller or vice versa. This simplifies the controller's
internal logic.
Also minor tweaks to logging to show Broker IDs.
We so far reported one result record per agent, which made it hard to report
per-node outcomes for the new configuration. Agents now report one result record
per node they're responsible for.
The fallback mechanism when no explicit agent/controller names are configured
didn't work properly, because many places in the code relied on accessing the
name via the variables meant for explicit configuration, such as
Management::Agent::name. Agent and controller now offer functions for computing
the correct effective name, and we use that throughout.
This adds an optional set of cluster node names to narrow the querying to. It
similarly expands the dispatch mechanism, since it likely most sense for any
such request to apply only to a subset of nodes.
Requests for invalid nodes trigger Response records in error state.
This adds support for retrieving the value of a global identifier from any
subset of cluster nodes. It relies on the lookup_ID() BiF to retrieve the val,
and to_json() to render the value to an easily parsed string. Ideally we'd send
the val directly, but this hits several roadblocks, including the fact that
Broker won't serialize arbitrary values.
This adds request/response event pairs to enable the controller to dispatch
"actions" (pre-implemented Zeek script actions) on subsets of Zeek cluster nodes
and collect the results. Using generic events to carry multiple such "run X on
the nodes" scenarios simplifies adding these in the future.
- This gives the cluster controller and agent the common name "Management
framework" and changes the start directory of the sources from
"policy/frameworks/cluster" to "policy/frameworks/management". This avoids
ambiguity with the existing cluster framework.
- It renames the "ClusterController" and "ClusterAgent" script modules to
"Management::Controller" and "Management::Agent", respectively. This allows us
to anchor tooling common to both controller and agent at the "Management"
module.
- It moves common configuration settings, logging, requests, types, and
utilities to the common "Management" module.
- It removes the explicit "::Types" submodule (so a request/response result is
now a Management::Result, not a Management::Types::Result), which makes
typenames more readable.
- It updates tests that depend on module naming and full set of scripts.
